Rudolph Dreikers says, “Children are keen observers, but poor interpreters”. Growing up and learning how to exist in a chaotic world can be extremely challenging in even the best circumstances. Those with trauma, neurodivergence, or any other challenges may have an especially tough time with this.

I strive to create a stimulating, comfortable, and safe place for people to be vulnerable. I tend to have a relaxed conversational style, while using evidenced based materials and approaches. I am committed to jumping in the muck with you so we can find solutions together.

At times we get stuck and can't quite reach our destination without additional support. Perhaps our methods of coping and communicating aren't working as well as we hoped. We might feel overwhelmed and frustrated by our circumstances and don't know what to do next. Reaching out for therapy may feel defeating in some ways, yet that desire to be seen, feel heard, and find relief is strong. We arrive here with some hope that things can change.

Not accepting new clients until fall 2024. The thought of meeting with a therapist can be intimidating, and I pride myself in my clients describing me as being very down to earth and easy to talk with. Most individuals who have never pursued therapy before are pleasantly surprised at how much they enjoy this relationship. I work with Willis (Great Pyrenees/Great Dane) who is an AKC Canine Good Citizen and registered Therapy Dog through Alliance of Therapy Dogs. He is available to be present during appointments if desired.

The ability to acknowledge our struggles is the first step towards positive change. We are all capable of it. The majority of my career has been spent working with children, teenagers and young adults. The focus is usually on helping them manage issues related to depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and low self-esteem. I enjoy getting to engage in family therapy, with the focus on improving communication and family dynamics. My work with adults focuses on similar concerns. I enjoy clients who come to therapy with a desire to understand themselves and change behaviors or thought patterns that are negatively impacting their lives.

Do you feel stress or anxiety? Does your life feel out of balance? Although you are managing, you might feel like it takes more effort to do what came easily before.
